It's not a brittle car by any stretch, you have to consider the type of crashes they are talking about. Full speed into a pole off a jump? There isn't a buggy on the market that could handle that type of crash. Only thing I've broken on my XB4 is the top deck and that's from my poor driving in that instance.
Biggest breaks I've seen at the track was one guy putting his into the cinder-block wall inside off the triple, the other guy put his into the pole of a chain-link fence coming down the back straight at full speed after catching one of the pipes. Neither of these were survivable by any 4wd on the market IMO.
